Description: | Copper alloy mount with textile. Probable bar mount. A pair of sub-rectangular plates of thickness 0.5mm with slightly curving ends, attached to each other by a pair of rivets sited towards their ends; the rivets are 3.7mm long with burred ends of similar diameter. Textile is trapped between the plates, probably from a textile belt - a material considered apt to wear by the lower sort according to later medieval sumptuary legislation. A hole of diameter 5.3mm has been drilled through both plates and textile, possibly an operation which has left the plates slightly bent. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450.Length: 26.3mm, Width: 10mm, Thickness (overall): 3.7mm, Weight: 2.35gms.
